User Projects / Code Examples / GPS "Pointer" with servos

« on: February 04, 2019, 06:12:13 AM »

Has anyone seen something like this?
I want to do the opposite of GPS navigation...
I would like to input a fixed GPS position and have the Tinyduino use two servos, one for elevation and the other for direction, like a pan and tilt.
I want to mount a pointer to the pan and tilt that will ALWAYS point directly, as the crow flies, to the saved coordinates.
Like a return to home.
No matter where you go, anywhere in the world, the pointer will always point back to home....
I have seen something EXACTLY like this in the past, many years ago, and for the life of me can't find it again....

General Discussion / Square Circuit, Round Hole...

« on: September 29, 2017, 09:48:29 PM »

OK, Ive been buying Tiny Circuits since before there WHERE any Tiny Circuits....
And I distinctly remember there being a choice between getting our boards in two flavors.
Square, and NOT square...
I have noticed that some of my boards seem to have a not square kind of footprint.
So if it appears that I may be able to round the corners off a pcb when I hold it up to the sun or use a flashlight or something?
Because if you are still designing them that way but just don't have the cojones to cut the crusts off your little tiny circuit sandwiches I'm thinking I might "Mom up" and do it myself.
Can I, can I please make my Tiny Circuits not square?
